Q: When did you contact and addicted to outdoor adventure activities?
Jimmy: When I was very young, my family there is a ski resort nearby, so I was very young when he started skiing. When I was a child first saw the mountain, I thought I'll have to mountain climbing. College when I and my friends started our adventure climbing trip, when I was 18 years old, after that I was climbing through a deep fascination with the sport, and a few years after graduation I has been continuously engaged in the interest of my until today.
Q: When you are in college if the school or organization related to the exploration community?
Jimmy: At that time no such associations, but my friends and I shared interest, so we gathered information on their own, their own travel.
Q: After several years the University has been continuously put into exploration activities, how do you solve the economic problems?
Jimmy: Our adventure activities are relatively save, and we drive a car to reach the destination at night and sleep in the car or camp in the mountains, but I was also doing part-time mountain guide and climbing instructor. So when the economy does not have too many problems.
Q: What is the chance to make you become a signatory to The North Face athletes?
Jimmy: The North Face's signing a player is a chance, I had not thought about a sign from the athletes, because in the United States as a signatory to The North Face athletes time is very difficult, but I am keen to explore some of the same activities, friends, and they signed some of The North Face athletes, The North Face so he recommended to me, so we have a cooperation.

Today I've been working together for The North Face and 7 years, and it worked out very happy. Q: to impress the most adventure which times?
Jimmy: Each expedition will let me go effort, If I have to say that a deeper impression, I think last year's Everest climbing skiing trip. Last year me and my two friends summited Everest and ski down from the top section, you know that some sections of steep, a small mistake ... but in the roof of the world will indeed be a very nice ski experience. (Very memorable smile)
Q: How do people in the United States began their first tour outside?
Jimmy: If you want to go to outdoor enthusiasts in the United States a place where hiking or walking will first approach the number of formal training organizations such as NOLS (Note: National Outdoor Leadership School America's most famous outdoor training institutions) to the system of learning outdoor survival knowledge, Of course, this knowledge is in the outdoor learning environment, these training institutions will organize their lives in the mountains about 1 month time, when they have mastered the knowledge of these outdoor survival time we can really start your own trip to the outdoor .
Q: In China's exploration of the area organizations will publish from time to time in the online adventure activities, and outdoor lovers to choose according to their corresponding activities, then in the United States has to work?
Jimmy: In the United States also have their own adventure around the organization, you can find them. Of course, you can also hire a private mountain guide, but this cost is higher.
Q: As a professional explorer, how do you prepare for your adventure trip? What is also collecting information from the Internet?

Or through the AAJ (American Alpine Journal), AAJ record all year, climbing nationwide, and these are the records submitted by the climbers on their own initiative to the AAJ, each climber will be happy to share their information.

In fact, we have been trying to find some good in the Chinese climbers as The North Face athletes, but now I do not climbers in China is very understanding and I believe we will have further cooperation.
Q: China is a country rich mountain resources, and then to China recently and no plans for adventure?
Jimmy: Yes, China has too many and too beautiful mountains, a lot of mountains in Tibet I liked. As a result of their more studio work, so little time to do a long exploration program, but I still had time to go back to stay on the mountain for some time. August next year there should be arrangements for the expedition to China, and I quite look forward to. Outdoor exposure from the beginning to enjoy the outdoors, to become a professional explorer, Jimmy and I talked a lot, I briefed him on a lot of outdoor sports in China, he is also very happy for me to share some of his adventures, often referred to Highlights will be in high spirits Jimmy, Jimmy could see what a love this sport. One hour off soon, our conversation also ended in a pleasant atmosphere, and finally he told me that they want to be able to find The Noth Face of China's athletes, and explorers want to cooperate with China.

North Face (film)
The movie portrays an attempt in 1936 to summit the Eiger via the north face by two competing climbing teams. The more prominently featured pair of German climbers are Toni Kurz (Fürmann) and Andi Hinterstoisser (Lukas) from Berchtesgaden who have left the German army in order to make their attempt. (Berchtesgaden is now widely known as the location of Hitler's home throughout that decade.) They are portrayed as being more interested in mountaineering than in the current politics of the time. The competing team of Austrians who eventually team up with the German team are portrayed as hoping for a Nazi-led incorporation of Austria into Germany. A major subplot involves a principled young newspaper employee (and hometown friend of the German climbers; Wokalek) whose career the climbing story could launch, and her cynical superior (Tukur).
The North Face
This article is about The North Face, Inc., the outdoor product company. For other uses, see The North Face (disambiguation).The North Face, Inc. is an outdoor product company specializing in outerwear, fleece, footwear, and equipment such as backpacks, tents, and sleeping bags.
The clothing and equipment lines are catered towards wilderness chic, climbers, mountaineers, skiers, snowboarders, hikers, and endurance athletes.
The company sponsors professional athletes from the worlds of running, climbing, skiing and snowboarding including David Carrier Porcheron and Johan Olofsson.The North Face brand was established in 1966[1] in San Francisco, California, when Douglas Tompkins and Kenneth "Hap" Klopp created an equipment retail store that eventually acquired the name The North Face.[1] This name was chosen because the north face of a mountain in the northern hemisphere is generally the most difficult face to climb.[1] By the 1980s, skiwear was added to the line of products, and eventually camping equipment was added as well. The North Face is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the VF Corporation.[2]
Today, The North Face is based in San Leandro, California, near its corporate sibling, JanSport.[3] JanSport is the world's largest backpack maker and together, JanSport and The North Face manufacture nearly half of all small backpacks sold in the United States.[3]
The North Face's logo consists of a slightly skewed quarter-circle with two lines running within it. This image is an interpretation of Half Dome, a massive granitic monolith in Yosemite National Park,[1] viewed from the west, with the sheer north (or northwest) face of Half Dome to the left.
The North Face maintains strong links with the outdoor community through its sponsored athlete program. Athletes such as Lizzy Hawker who recently won the Ultra Trail Tour du Mont Blanc have benefited greatly from the program.
[edit] Rise in popularity, counterfeiting, and theft
In the late 1990s and early 2000s with the rise of wilderness chic, The North Face became a well-known brand and its popularity, especially among youth and college students, increased substantially. Due to the high demand for and the high prices of these products, a market developed for counterfeit (illegally replicated) The North Face goods. Sold on eBay or in other unregulated venues, counterfeits can usually be detected by their misplacement of logos and obvious inferiority of craftsmanship. In addition to this, many counterfeit The North Face products are not made of Gore-Tex or HyVent, despite being so marked.[citation needed]
For the same reasons that The North Face products are counterfeited, they are also prime targets for theft. In early 2005, a group of teenagers from Washington D.C. were arrested on charges including the armed robbery of specifically The North Face jackets from randomly picked students on the street.[4] Allegedly, the thieves would then resell the products for a substantially decreased price.
The massive counterfeiting has prompted the creation of a website with information for consumers intending to purchase North Face items online in 2004.[5] In August 2007, Businessweek interviewed the owner and featured the site in one of their articles.[6]
